Fault zones are often wide, branching networks rather than narrow lines, requiring a shift to 3D models for better earthquake ...

At the Seismological Society of America's Annual Meeting, researchers posed a seemingly simple question: how wide are faults?

Using data compiled from single earthquakes across the world, Christie Rowe of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno and Alex Hatem of the U.S. Geological Survey sought ...

In this type of fault, the block of rock above the fault plane, known as the hanging wall, moves downward relative to the block below, called the footwall. Normal faults are typically found at ...

But the stronger-than-expected tremor has brought into focus its source, the somewhat obscure but dangerous Elsinore fault. The Elsinore runs 190 miles long and "extends from near the U.S.-Mexico ...

"They occur when there are stresses that build up in the Earth's crust, and the rocks essentially break along a fault," said Jennifer Mitchell, professor of geoscience and environmental science at ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The Elsinore fault zone in Southern California, though historically quiet, poses a significant seismic risk, capable of generating a magnitude 7.8 earthquake ...
